What is llama-steve AGENTS.md?

A set of repository instructions for coding agents working on Llama Steve, a plugin that produces a structured product teardown of a code repository in a Steve Jobs-inspired voice.

Use it to understand how the teardown is generated, rendered as a local report, served, and published as a landing page.

It explains the project’s architecture, commands, and operating details before changes are made, reducing the chance of breaking the expected workflow.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00817	$0.00817
Opus 5.5	$0.00327	$0.00327
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00163	$0.00163
Haiku 4.5	$0.00082	$0.00082

Security

Grade A, and why

llama-steve AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — Llama Steve

Guidance for coding agents (Claude Code, etc.) working in this repo.

What this is

Llama Steve is a Claude Code plugin that runs a 10x product teardown of a repo in the voice of a Steve-Jobs-modeled persona — it generates game-changing ideas, says no to most of them, keeps ~3, and stamps a binary verdict (SHEEP IT or SPIT IT). It renders the result as an Apple-keynote-style report and serves it on localhost. A curated landing page is published at https://sonto.space/steve/.

Architecture (read before changing anything)

The CLI is a deterministic renderer. It makes zero LLM calls. The actual thinking is done by the Claude Code agent following commands/llama-steve.md.

llama-steve.mjs — CLI. Verbs: serve (render /tmp/llama-steve-result.json into reports/ and serve it) and landing (render assets/demo.json into site/ for the public demo). Flags: --open, --no-serve, --port, --result.
lib/report.mjs — renderReport / buildReport. Emits self-contained HTML and copies assets/. Two modes: report (local) and landing (adds <base href="/steve/">). CSS is cache-busted by content hash. boldNames() lightly bolds known framework/company names; the brand mark is assets/llama-mark.svg inlined with fill: currentColor.
lib/scan.mjs — repoIdentity(): name/description from manifest, git remote, commit count.
lib/serve.mjs — tiny static server, bound to 127.0.0.1, path-traversal guarded.
skills/ — bundled skills used during a teardown: llama-steve (persona + output contract), ten-x (idea generation), humanizer (verdict rewrite).
assets/demo.json — data for the public landing. Must be a real teardown. assets/example.json is the fallback sample shown when no result exists.

Running it

node llama-steve.mjs serve --open    # local report from /tmp/llama-steve-result.json
node llama-steve.mjs landing         # build public site/ from assets/demo.json
node --test test/*.mjs               # tests (Node 20+, no deps, no build step)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
